RAGE is a groundbreaking first-person shooter set in the not-too-distant future
after an asteroid impacts Earth, leaving a ravaged world behind. You emerge into
this vast wasteland to discover humanity working to rebuild itself against such
forces as bandit gangs, mutants, and the Authority – an oppressive government
regime that has a special interest in you in particular. Featuring intense
first-person shooter action, breakneck vehicle combat, an expansive world to
explore and jaw-dropping graphics powered by id’s revolutionary id Tech® 5
technology, RAGE promises an experience like no other.

Fearing a planet-wide extinction from a massive asteroid headed towards Earth,
world leaders are faced with the inexorable task of ensuring human survival.
Left with few alternatives, life-sustaining pods filled with select people are
buried deep beneath the earth’s surface. You are one of the chosen members of
these modern day arks and abruptly enter the RAGE universe after surfacing
alone. Leaving you to your own devices to stay alive in a world filled with
those who prefer you dead, RAGE combines powerful storytelling with
heart-pounding action.

Rage was the game that showed me ids oftware is no longer capable of competing with modern development houses. It had probably been apparent to others for awhile but I was hopeful they would turn it around with Rage and it was just a let down in so many ways. Like someone else said it feels like they hadn't even played other games for the past 10 years and looked up demo reels on Youtube and tried to emulate the basest elements of those games.
